Time required to update the fundamental data

After the company (for HKSE market ) release the earning, the time required to have latest fundamental data for gurofocus is too long. It may take 10 days which is very very long. In stock, 10 days can have a lot of changes!!!
Some platform can have the update within 2 working days which is more acceptable.

I hope that this can be improved.

First-rate Customer Tech support from GuruFocus

The GuruFocus support people started working on my problem promptly. While they weren't able to reproduce my problem from their side, they continued working with me, and a while later suggested a Zoom session so we could share screens. During that session, they suggested a solution for the primary problem I was experiencing, which has worked fine so far (& I expect it will continue working in the future)

Good financial site

Financial site. Focus is mostly on investment guru and insider holdings and fundamental stock metrics and history. There is very little technical trading information here as part of this site. I like the gurufocus graphs, screeners, summary pages and historical graphs and other information. It is nice having access to 10 years of financial data on companies and the ability to graph just about everything. Depth of information has been very good overall, but I have found updated links to news and additional external research a bit lacking. A lot of emphasis is put on guru trading and holdings which is of value, but dated already by the time it is reported and available. Insider trading information is also available though. Outside contributor articles have been of value. Inside contributor articles are mostly recant of information already available on the site. There are extra features such as data downloads and Excel spreadsheet integrations I have not used. Technical support for fixes has been great.

Fixed dark screens

I left a "feedback" which was answered awfully fast, considering it was probably a low priority:
"... Love the dark screens! I don't like all white, but this page is one example of not everything visible when in Dark mode. Thankfully, you made it easy to switch back and forth from light to dark. ...
Please make all screens readable when in Dark mode."
I checked a bunch of pages on the site and found no more issues.

We'll improve the dark mode as you suggested.

Not very insightful

I used the (paid) premium subscription for over 6 months.
At best this is a site you are paying for data and some tools. If you are looking for specific stock recommendations or company analysis, this is not great site.
Even if the strategy is to simply emulate what successful gurus are buying and selling, it is not very helpful as the timing of buy n sell data is not realtime, though it claims to be.

Great Chat Support!

Very appreciative of the expertise and quick response time! I contacted Chat Support after having problems installing an Excel add-in. The agent joined almost immediately and was able to fix my problem very quickly.

Challenge Resolved

Tim at GuruFocus made an improvement I'd found an opportunity for after a couple of years working with the program right quick and did a great job! Now the line color in the custom graphs GuruFocus creates for me on demand are consistent, meaningful and valuable!

I found out you are restricting…

I found out you are restricting information which is a surprise because no other web site does it. Many people buy a web site they like and rarely change and besides everyone uses many web sites. I use it in class, we have all the information printed and besides information is everywhere, and we do not use much information to find good companies.

Gurufocus is the absolute best screener I have found!

Gurufocus is even more versatile a screener than I expected when I subscribed. I consider it essential that both technical and fundamental criteria can be applied to find your stocks.

Customer service answers fast and efficiently fixes any problems. The screener is very fast and covers the whole wide world, what I haven’t found in any other screener.

I heartily recommend their services!

Review and DCF tool

I found the website extremely helpful and rich of data organized very well graphically.
Unfortunately, I cannot afford it at this time because of the price but apart from this, it was everything fine.

The DCF calculator, according to me is the most useful tool you can have because it can be used in reverse mode to estimate the future return of a stock.

Hope to come back in a few next years
